Bio-enabled remediation
Advanced Biology. Practical, Affordable Solutions. Clean Soil and Water.
What we do
Archelon Bio applies advanced microbial biotechnology to remediate contaminated soil and water in place, without excavation or disposal. Our proprietary approach harnesses naturally occurring microorganisms that thrive in extreme conditions to break down persistent pollutants such as petroleum hydrocarbons, excess nutrients (including nitrates), pesticides, and industrial chemicals. By working directly with landowners, enterprises, and public agencies, we deliver cost-effective, science-based solutions for complex contamination challenges, achieving significant cost savings while restoring ecological function and water quality.
